Towards a Better Understanding of Behaviour of Bridges with Integral Abutments

open access: yesComposite Construction in Steel and Concrete VI, 2011
One of the issues that has not been completely resolved in bridges built without expansion joints is the influence of seasonal temperature variations and soil characteristics on the maximum bridge length. To study this problem, a 40 meter long road composite bridge over the river Leduan in the north of Sweden was built in 2005.

Study on Structural Schemes of Comb-Type Steel-Concrete Composite Girder Bridges

open access: yesZhongwai Gonglu
To investigate the structural performance of novel comb-type steel-concrete composite girder bridges (with a span of 8‒40 m) and optimize their design schemes, this paper took the live load structural efficiency index as the indicator and comprehensively

Research on analytic calculation model for mining induced stress in multi-layered floor rock

open access: yes矿业科学学报, 2017
Considering the layered structure of floor rock masses, the calculation model for mining induced stress of multi-layered floor rock is established.First, the transfer matrix relating the abutment pressure and stress and displacement components of floor ...

Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Composite Bridges with Integral Abutments Minimizing Lifetime Cost

open access: yesIABSE Symposium, Melbourne 2002: Towards a Better Built Environment - Innovation, Sustainability, Information Technology, 2002
The cost of maintenance is an ever- growing problem for road administrations around the world, and bridges are no exception to the rule.

Experimental verification of numerical model of integral bridge

open access: yesBudownictwo i Architektura, 2014
The paper presents the results of analyses of displacements for a real reinforced concrete integral bridge. The research consisted of the measurement of vertical displacement in the middle of the span and lateral displacement of the abutment.

Development and preclinical evaluation of a hybrid stereoelectroencephalographic–laser depth electrode for magnetic resonance imaging‐guided interstitial thermal therapy in drug‐resistant epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to design and validate a hybrid depth electrode combining stereoelectroencephalographic (sEEG) recording and magnetic resonance‐guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) under real‐time magnetic resonance thermometry, to streamline the transition from invasive localization to focal ablation in ...

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.
